My Architect is a tale of love and art, betrayal and forgiveness—in which the illegitimate son of a legendary artist undertakes a five-year, worldwide exploration to understand his long-dead father. Louis I. Kahn, who died in 1974, is considered by many architectural historians to have been the most important architect of the second half of the 20th century. A Jewish immigrant who over came poverty and the effects of a devastating childhood accident, Kahn created a handful of intensely powerful and spiritual buildings—geometric compositions of brick, concrete and light—which, in the words of one critic, “change your life.” While Kahn’s artistic legacy was an uncompromising search for truth and clarity, his personal life was filled with secrets and chaos: He died, bankrupt and unidentified, in the men’s room in Penn Station, New York, leaving behind three families—one with his wife of many years and two with women with whom he’d had long-term affairs. In My Architect, the child of one of these extra-marital relationships, Kahn’s only son Nathaniel, sets out on an epic journey to reconcile the life and work of this mysterious, contradictory man.
The riveting narrative leads us from the subterranean corridors of Penn Station to the roiling streets of Bangladesh (where Kahn built the astonishing National Capitol), and from the coast of New England to the inner sanctums of Jerusalem politics. Along the way, we encounter a series of characters that are by turns fascinating, hilarious, adoring and critical: from the cabbies who drove Kahn around his native Philadelphia, to former lovers and clients, to the rarified heights of the world’s most celebrated architects—Frank Gehry, I. M. Pei and Philip Johnson among them.
In My Architect, the filmmaker reveals the haunting beauty of his father’s monumental creations and takes us deep within his own divided family, uncovering a world of prejudice, intrigue and the myths that haunt parents and children. In a documentary with the emotional impact of a dramatic feature film (including an original orchestral score), Nathaniel’s personal journey becomes a universal investigation of identity, a celebration of art and, ultimately, of life itself.

- dqu(这也不会,那也不会) 片子看完有一段了,一直没能动笔写一写它。路易斯·康不是我很熟悉的建筑师。他的作品少,而我基本都没有见过。片子拍得不算好,我边看边想,如果是我来导,会这样这样拍,给那样那样的解说…但这样一部平平的片子,仍然很深地触动了我。 导演是康的儿子,私生子,父亲一直不和他与母亲生活在一起。十岁的时候,父亲死于一个闹市火车...... (7回应)

- 小野(我想我会变成这样都是我害的) 很久没有这样耐心地坐在电脑前凝神看完一部电影了,也很久没有看完后就迫切地在豆瓣上打五星并且评价说“希望能给更多的星”,同样也很久没有在看完后用很长的时间回味电影中的细节并急切地渴望写下一点什么。由于这些理由,我觉得我需要再安静地坐下来,认真地来“谈谈想法”。 [关于电影] 如片名《My Architect: A...... (8回应)
